  • Methods and apparatus for billing of facsimile transmissions to electronic storage destinations
    Publication number: 20090034701
    Abstract: A method for a computer includes determining a call-in fax telephone number called by a facsimile transmission device, receiving the facsimile transmission from a facsimile transmission device including a digitized representation of a transmission page including an optical representation of data associated with an e-mail address, determining the data optically, which is independent of the call-in number, determining a graphics template associated with the call-in number, combining a digitized representation of the transmission page with the graphics template to form a digitized representation of a composite page, formatting the digitized representation of the composite page into a second format, determining additional service provider data in response to the facsimile or the scanned image, and transmitting the additional service provider data and the digitized representation of the composite page in the second format to the electronic destination address.

  • Method and system for facilitating paper to electronic communications
    Patent number: 7079275
    Abstract: A facsimile/email communication system for providing a user the ability to send emails from any standalone facsimile machine. The system does not require any additional hardware or software to be installed on equipment being used by a sender. The system further provides a user the ability to logon to a centralized web server and send facsimiles to any standalone fax machine. According to one aspect, the system receives a facsimile from a facsimile machine. The facsimile includes an email cover page having the email address of the intended recipient of the facsimile. The email address is extracted from the email cover page by optical character recognition. The facsimile is then converted into an email with the proper email format. The email is then transmitted to the extracted email address.
